   As I mentioned, I googled for what "ln()" could mean.  I got information   
   back that different professions use "log()" to mean whatever they want it to   
   mean.   :-(   
      
   I did however find how to use "log()" to emulate "ln()" (as I showed in my   
   first message).  Alas, the result was still not near the expected one.   
      
   If you can point out what mistake(s) I made with that (first) fomule or my   
   conversion of it I would be much obliged.
